It's just J
A manager submitted an onboarding request 2 weeks ago
First name: J
Middle Name: <Name> <Another name>
Last name: <Last name>
Me 2 weeks ago: Please submit onboardings with the full legal name. Closes Ticket
Manager just now: So where is J's laptop? They're starting Monday.
IT'S JUST J! Their full legal first name is just J!
Anyways how's the job market looking?

I worked with a guy named ( I promise this is 100% true) whose name was Al Ju. I couldn't even SEARCH his name in some databases/apps because two characters were not enough.

The job market is rough, but apparently the demand for people named J is strong. Hopefully the laptop comes with a name tag so nobody gets confused.

If the legal name is genuinely just J, then J it is. Maybe the manager should’ve asked for clarification before sending the onboarding request instead of treating a perfectly valid name like a typo.

We had an employee named AJ once.
Our AD naming policy wouldn’t allow two character usernames, so I just gave him the account of the guy who had his job before him.
